JEDDAH: Top technology and business leaders will explore the impact of artificial intelligence, data analytics, cybersecurity, and digital payments at the 5th Annual Future Banks Summit & Awards KSA.

Taking place on Sept. 24-25 at the InterContinental Hotel in Riyadh, the event will bring together over 200 local and regional leaders from banks and financial institutions.

The summit is designed to drive innovation, foster collaboration, and shape the future of Saudi Arabia’s financial industry. It will address key topics such as intelligent automation and cloud migration, preparing the Saudi banking sector for future challenges.

This initiative supports Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to modernize the banking sector, diversify the economy, attract foreign investment, and enhance regulatory frameworks, with the ultimate goal of establishing the Kingdom as a global leader in banking.

Sonny Supriyadi, chief data analytics officer at Maybank, emphasized the importance of discussing current issues to support the banking industry and drive economic growth in Saudi Arabia.  

“Conferences provide a platform for industry experts to share insights, discuss emerging trends, and learn from best practices. This exchange of knowledge is crucial for banks to remain competitive and adapt to changing market conditions,” said Supriyadi, who will be among the event’s key speakers. 

He added that fostering dialogue among industry leaders, regulators, and policymakers at conferences can help develop effective policies that support the banking industry and stimulate economic growth.   

“Saudi Arabia should be able to maintain a stable and conducive regulatory environment that fosters innovation, competition, and customer protection,” Supriyadi concluded. 

At the event, experts will tackle several critical topics, including the influence of Saudi Vision 2030 on the banking sector and the evolution of core banking systems to address future demands.

The summit will also delve into emerging trends such as open banking, super apps, and hyper-personalization. Discussions will explore how these innovations are transforming customer expectations and elevating the overall banking experience.
